Wifi 6 is capable of so much more than what your demonstrating. A proper test would be a 10GBE setup using iperf. There is absolutely no point in testing a 60MB Internet connection with wifi 6.
He has good intentions but technically not so great. Internet speeds and wifi speed are not the same. He managed to demo some of the AX feature but he has no idea what took place. Anyway, this video is meant for not tech audiance but if you are tech or pro it is a bit unconfortable to make it to the end of the video.
Mircea Because WiFi 6 is overkill. If you’ve got a sub 100Mb net connection then you can easily manage with WiFi 5 and don’t need to spend the frankly extortionate going rates for the WiFi 6 stuff. Is 6 better? Yes. It is 150-300 dollars better? Only as fast as it’s slowest part.
Agreed. I have a gigabit internet connection at home and a few WiFi 5 AP's. I can pull just over 500Mbit though most of my house, and still over 200Mbit on the far edges of my 15k sq ft property (all on the 5GHz band). I get that people relate to the speed test app that they know and love, but with your limited WAN bandwidth you should really find a better way to demonstrate a throughout test of WiFi 6. I would love to upgrade to WiFi 6 AP's, but will probably wait until the 6GHz band is included in the standard.
@@forid200 I agree, he's definitely not a professional networking guy. That was clear from the start of his networking series, with his rampant misuse of terminology.

ruclips.net/video/YL7pKj80eCk/видео.html Here ya go with my real iperf 3 test of the Alien Router w 1GB synchronous fiber connection. I made like 10 videos with the garbage netgear AX12 RAX200 Asus AX11000 and Alien Routers. Not rooters dud.
Thats literally the same AX12 router I have in my cart right now. Thinking about getting it to upgrade from my older Linksys router that doesn’t support WiFi-6 or even DOCSIS 3.1, so an upgrade is overdue. Even with a Gigabit connection, the fastest WIFI i’ve ever seen is around 350 MBPS, but its usually only 70-80...
Wifi 6 is so much more than just wifi 6. It can achieve up to 11gbps, it's got longer range, it's got fully I integrated mu-mimo, it supports active traffic management to avoid network congestion and packet resending, thus decreasing power usage on the router and decreasing battery usage massively on portable devices. It's the future of wifi
We have 20 devices connected to a router. Only 2 devices support wifi 6. Should we get a wifi 6 router? It says wifi 6 is better at handling multiple devices. Does the advantage apply even if most devices we have are only wifi 5 devices?
Wow, the office are using Daisy as their ISP - Nice. They guys I did work experience with used Daisy (and Gamma) as ISPs when installing their networks (also using UniFi) and IP phone systems.
Check your unifi Ethernet cable. Looks like it's probably 10mbs lan as your wifi got stuck right at the point that would make me think that your not getting the gig or 100 lan speed. You should be able to see 60mbs no problem with the unifi. As even on my bad days with a unifi access point I see 60.

The presenter keeps saying Megs per second. Megs is typically defined as Megabytes. Speedtest actually tests Mbps, which is Megabits per second. There are 8 bits in a byte. To get Megabytes per second, you have to divide Megabits by 8. It would be nice if correct terms are used in a video.
